Fiafia Nights
If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to see a local fiafia night don't miss it.
Quite different to the commercial version you may find at the big hotels in Apia these are much more likely to be the locals from the village or a genuine family affair with everyone from the young children to the chief's wife included. Fiafias include wonderful music, beautiful Samoan Sivas and maybe even a fire dance.
Many Fiafia nights include a buffet or bbq meal first which will often include traditional Samoan delicacies. The meal is usually served around 30 minutes after sunset. Smaller hotels and beach fales often put on a Fiafia night when they have a big crowd staying. Some of the larger resorts & hotels have regular Fiafia nights which guests are welcome at.
Fiafia nights in Savaii are not regular so please confirm with your local hotel when their next Fiafia Night will be as the show most of the time depends on hotel occupancy!
